A few comments about the book:
...powerful and very timely...this book is essential and so moving and compelling. Wolf Blitzer, Principal Anchor, CNN
This suspense-filled retelling of World War II is...breathtaking all the more fightening when experienced through the lens of one intrepid family who ...endured ...coped, and ultimately they miraculously overcame the machinations of evil. This is a Holocaust story of triumph! Silvia Foti, author of Storm in the Land of Rain: A Mother's Dying Wish Becomes Her Daughter's Nightmare
Had this been a novel, one would have rejected it as implausible, perhaps even impossible, and yet it happened. ....truth is stranger than fiction, and once again, Cassell is indefatigable in her quest for truth, Her narrative is as compelling as the story she tells. Michael Berenbaum, author, scholar, rabbi, filmmaker, professor, former Project Director of the United States Holocaust memorial Museum,
